to finish a painting is unexplainable. It depends on the individual that is painting. Sometimes it can take someone a minute to figure out what they want to paint. Sometimes it may take hours, or even days. It is the same way with finishing the painting. Of course at times people might have a deadline in which they have to work with in order to complete their painting, otherwise, rushing the process is not always the way to go when painting a picture. It is fair to say that the process might be finished when the artist is satisfied with what they have accomplished. There are many reasons as to why people paint. Painting may be considered a hobby, or a profession. As I mentioned earlier, I have always loved art and although I am only recently beginning to paint, I plan on continuing to paint until I become an experienced painter. I feel that right now it is only a hobby for me, but I would like to make it a profession one day in the future, as I hope many others will.
